Publisher’s description: People ask me how come I’m still alive, and I don’t know what to say. When I was growing up, if you’d have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn’t have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time.
A lot of it ain’t gonna be pretty. I’ve done some bad things in my time. I’ve always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain’t the devil. I’m just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time.”

Yes, it’s true. I am an Ozzy fan! I took took that picture when my kids and I went on an OzzFest road trip in 2007. It was a fabulous trip and Ozzy was amazing – he was obviously enjoying himself as he worked the crowd and gave a great performance. I expected him to be good, but he really exceeded my expectations.

I was excited to have the opportunity to review the new I Am Ozzy audio book. I was hoping that Ozzy himself would read it, but Frank Skinner did an excellent job of reading. He isn’t Ozzy, but his accent and style gave it a realistic feel.

The first hand account of Ozzy’s life was very informative – starting with his childhood and family and then moving forward to the present. Some of it – I already knew, but a lot of it was new to me. And the whole thing is told from Ozzy’s perspective – clear and honest words – the good and the bad.

And …. yes, there are plenty of F-Bombs throughout. So… use your own discretion.
